The tin on the post is standard for soldering into a plated through-hole. The contact shape is square (male pin), typical for KK396 headers, and mates with standard KK396 crimp receptacle housings. ## Application Range and Series Context The KK396 series is a 3.96mm pitch wire-to-board system used across automotive, general-purpose industrial, medical, and telecommunications equipment. This particular header is a breakaway style — the 4-position piece is a fixed length, not a snap-to-length strip. The base product number is 002648, which covers the full family of single-row KK396 headers.","metaTitle":"Molex 0026482043 KK396 Header, 4 Pos, 3.96mm, Gold, Active","metaDescription":"Molex 0026482043 KK396 series breakaway header, 4 circuits, 3.96mm pitch, through-hole, gold-plated contacts.
